umm, i still dont really understand what ur saying because surely you understand that even chords come from scales....
you dont have chords without scales, and when i talk about play scales im not talking about spitting out notes at insane speeds in a linear fashion. you can play scales slowly, but like your example about your friend who played the song off key....you'd need to understand the chords ur playing over, as well as how your scale fits ontop of it to prevent that
